Just to clarify, I believe that the material world and the study and understanding of it reveals much about its creator, e.g. "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." (Psalm 19:1). This is so-called "natural theology". But science has no access to the things of God available only through "special revelation".

To put it in a few words, a god of the gaps is no god at all.
Which is why I argue for science pointing to the God-of-the-gulfs (as you may recall): https://groups.google.com/g/talk.origins/c/Q0H4U47iYgk/ m/2fprGczIBwAJ
Which is a god of the gaps. It is purely your imagination that science points at a god there.
